Let me join the club then, I'm (sort of) a professional programmer too ;D
(yeah, "sort of" because I don't have a daily job as a programmer... but I'm the programmer for a super-innovative project someone's developing and I had the luck of getting into...)

The goals are : - support for most retro-gaming systems - modular & powerful layout in order for other people to update ljp when I won't have time to do it - update for better perf of the emulation core I develop/optimize personnaly : nes,snes & perhaps ngp/ws. |

The goals are : - modular & powerful layout in order for other people to update ljp when I won't have time to do it A good first step here would probably be ditching CodeWarrior in favor of an open development enviroment, such as PODS which PalmOne is pushing now. (Or prc-tools with plain old Makefiles. PODS is based on prc-tools but has its own build management system instead of using make.) I know this would be initially difficult since CodeWarrior seems to include a number of libraries for working with PNOs, but in the long run it would pay off by making it much easier for other developers to join in. I was hoping to try and hack in at least rudimentary lores device support, but I can't even come close to building LJP, let alone changing it, without a $400 piece of software.  BTW, as far as I can tell, all that would be needed for Treo 600 support is lo-res OSD capability. GameBoy emulation works flawlessly on the T600, but we can't quit LJP once emulation is started without a soft reset. (Bringing up the OSD on a lo-res device will cause a soft reset.) I know most of the other systems could not be emulated on a lores device, but GB emulation works beautifully - LJP blows every other Palm GB emu out of the water on a T600 except for that pesky inability to quit. |

The biggest problem is that CW provides us a PalmOS implementation of the C++ standard lib, while PODS doesn't.
